Minutes to Decimal Hours Converter

The formula is: decimal hours = minutes / 60.

Worked example: 30 minutes equals 0.5 decimal hours.

To go the other way, use the Decimal Hours to Minutes Converter, which multiplies by 60 instead of dividing.

This minutes to decimal chart converts every whole minute from 1 to 60 into decimal hours, rounded to two places the way payroll time conversion charts show it. Find the minutes, then read the decimal next to it.

For hours and minutes together, convert only the minutes and add the whole hours: 2 hours 15 minutes is 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 decimal hours, and 8 hours 48 minutes is 8.80.

Payroll systems, time clocks, and freelance invoices almost always record hours as decimals, because a decimal multiplies cleanly by an hourly rate. An employee who works 7 hours 45 minutes is paid for 7.75 hours, and a consultant who spends 20 minutes on a call bills 0.33 hours. Converting minutes to decimal is the step that turns clock time into those billable figures.

To find the time between two clock times, use the Time Difference Calculator. To total a week of clock-in and clock-out times, use the Time Card Calculator.
